Any particular Lores we should look out for when making characters for this?

Alustria has been flabbergasted by events this whole time, but they ended so quickly she didn’t even have time to react! She shakes her head and turns to Corla, hoping to catch any hints of a lie or dissemblance.
Alustria cocks her head. ”Wait here, Audrahni. I’ll be right back.”
Alustria considers all the strangeness she's seen since the adventure began. "I'm...not schooled in such things, Audrahni. I'm not a wizard, or a scholar. Never been able to stand sitting still reading when there's something to be done. But..." She chews on her bottom lip. "I think that something has happened with time. Or reality. Like pieces of one are being stitched onto this one and it's causing discord. Like a bad patch, new leather on top of old." She laughs a little, but it isn't a happy sound. "I don't think anything's wrong with you, cousin. I think something's wrong with the world, and I worry what'll happen if someone doesn't figure out what that is."
”Your company is always a joy, to me. Why would you think you should have remained in Roderic’s Cove?”
”Of course, cousin. Happily.” Alustria buys two glasses. ”How have you been feeling lately?”
She remains blissfully unaware of anything strange.
”Keep it at the surface if you can!” The Druid starts casting another spell!
Alustria summons a shark! It appears in the water to do battle with the dunkleosteus! Round 2- The shark materializes and attacks!
Even as the water rushes over the ship, Alustria is able to grab hold of some railing and keep from being swept over!
The elemental tries to assist the child-mage, but can’t get a grip!
Rather than fighting her way through the wind and rain, Alustria prays to Sarenrae for her friends’ success, then summons a small Air Elemental to assist them!
”I’m sure it was an honest mistake. Sometimes precautions fail us. And indeed, it is fortunate we were here!” Alustria conjures water to help rinse the goo from Remy.
The summoned ape pounds its chest before laying into the horrible ooze-thing!
Alustria begins casting a summoning spell from her perch - something that won’t have to worry about tumors, as it’s a magical creature! `action 1` A large gorilla appears and attacks, trying to slam the blob with its massive fists!
Seeing Remy’s fire stopping the creature’s regeneration, Alustria gives a caw of triumph! Then she flies behind Remy and taps her with her beak.
Alustria shifts form into an eagle and flies up into the rafters!
Somehow, despite her keen elven senses, Alustria doesn’t notice anything out of the ordinary!
She drifts to sleep in a hammock on deck, under the stars, listening to the crash of the waves against the hull.
”It was truly magnificent!” Alustria’s eyes shine with wonder. ”I’ve never seen the like!”
Alustria is enchanted by the performance, drawn in by the emotion, hanging in every breath to see what is about to happen next...and so Flik’s call for help doesn’t completely register.
Alustria is shy around people she doesn't know - it's one of the reasons she didn't join Sarenrae's clergy, instead opting to revere the goddess through nature. "I don't have much to tell that my comrades can't say themselves. But I wish the Dawnflower's blessing on this ship and voyage.
While in Town... Alustria revisits the tailor. "Um...I was wondering if you have any more of that cloth? It's amazing stuff! And...and I need a better needle, and nicer thread, and an awl, and a thimble, and..."
----------------------
She takes note of the new people coming, and settles in for the boat ride. She's spent far too much time indoors and underground, and the open air and sea spray sound exciting!
I will take the Wisdom headband, since no one else has jumped on it :)
”That seems a fair trade, doesn’t it?
To Remy: Alustria beams are the suggestion. ”Of course she can come! Goodness prospers most when it’s seeds are sewn in evil soil, but sprout anyway. Those fruits are most beloved by the gods.” Then she sits back in her chair. ”And it would make you happy, too.” Later:
As is often the case, Alustria just doesn’t know how to talk to people.
"Aunt Vivienne? Uncle Erindil? They're...dead?" The news is clearly a shock to Alustria, and she turns her face back to her cousin as she speaks. "I didn't know. She didn't tell me. Why didn't you tell me, Audrahni? She holds the elf's hand tightly. -------------------------- "And that's exactly what we'll do, right, Remy? Head to Hollow Mountain? We can't...can't just let the bad things keep happening.
Oh. Alas, I’m used to getting the whole suite of them, and since I knew I got Bull’s Strength I thought I got them all. Sorry!
Maddie, I can provide any stat-boosting spell for item crafting! :)
”She’s my cousin, but she’s a full elf. Much older than I am, or could be - I’m only 33 winters. Whenever I saw her as a child, I marveled at how she didn’t change over the years.” Alustria chews her bottom lip a moment, hands fidgeting. “So I don’t really know what happened. Last I saw her, before coming here, I had just left home.”
”What do you mean, depression?” Alustria glances over at her cousin, then back to the priest. ”Is there something I don’t know?”
"Shhh. It's okay, cousin. They can't take the Dawnflower from you. Not any more." Alustria strokes Audrahni's hair, trying to soothe her as best she can. "You'll see the light again in the morning. I promise." During a short break from tending her stricken relative, Alustria will describe Audrahni's nightmares to her comrades. Perhaps one of them knows a deeper meaning being conveyed? Or a remedy to help her sleep?
Oh, also - I'd like to put in a petition for the Wisdom headband we found on Jana. I mean, she's a criminal, right? So we get to confiscate her goods? ;) I'm not sure we should take her life savings though...
Level 5 Druid! HP + 5
"Yes, Audrahni. It's me. Here." She casts Create Water, summoning it into Audrahni's hands. "By the Dawnflower, I was so scared! I thought I had lost you." To Jana: "Evil is never the right way to accomplish a goal, no matter how easy it seems. There are always better ways."
------------ In Town: Alustria will attend to Audrahni's wounds, helping to keep the elf woman comfortable, and will finish sewing the robes she was making for Remy.
Alustria runs over to Audrahni. ”Are you all right, cousin? That was so terrible!”
That is all I have, guys :( I’m spent
Alustria tries to hit the monster with a storm blast!
The spider tries to bring down the enemy!
The spider hurried back into the space with Alustria! If he makes it, he will try to web Jana up!
I'd like to point out that Alustria can't hit for crap...until she's hitting at -1 for nonlethal. And then rolls max damage. It's like the dice know!
Alustria takes the woman's quarterstaff now that she's rolling about on the ground, laughing, and tries to hit her with it!
The spider tries to web the enemy holding Audrahni!
Alustria, seeing Borgol fall, hurries to tend his wounds as best she can!
The metal continues to heat as Alustria starts intoning a summoning!
”They’re talking about Audrahni!”
In this cramped space, without most of her spells, there is little Alustria can do. She readies the most powerful spell she has left - Heat Metal for if she sees someone with metal armor or weaponry coming through.
From her position near the back, Alustria frowns at the terrible condition the children are in. Then she shakes her head and prepares to administer charges from their wand to any who seem in dire need.
Alustria stands by while Flik works on the door!
"As amusing as this is...I think we have something we still need to do? Yes?" Alustria crosses her arms.
